Why it spread
This post spread because it paired a hot topic that week with an unusual chart type, reaching 19,382 views, 265 likes, 66 reposts, 4 quotes and 81 saves from an account in the data journalism space.
What worked
- The treemap form was an unusual chart type, which the facts list as a main reason it spread.
- The subject was a hot topic that week, which the facts also list as a main reason it spread.
- The post carried a source line and a branded identity, and it landed with a top quarter source reach while keeping its quote rate in the bottom quarter, so people shared it more than they argued with it.
What to borrow
We could take a hot topic of the week and give it an unusual chart type such as a treemap, then label it clearly and keep our own branding and source line on it.
Careful
Do not over-read the likes, reposts, quotes, saves or views as proof Zagat-style that the design alone did the work, since the facts credit the topic and the chart type together and give no typical account baseline.
